What to do next?
I have a longstanding history of Hashimoto's
thyroiditis
and have been on thyroxine for about 20 yrs. I am a 53 yr old male. In spring 2014 I took ill with exhaustion breathlessness depression etc. needed to spend much of the day in bed. Terrible clouded thinking. Not coping in work.

Thyroiditis, no symptoms
I've had
thyroiditis
for the last seven months, seen my GP, blood test normal, scan showed slightly enlarged thyroid and I have a feeling of slight strangulation all the time which isn't very comfortable. Eventually got referred to endocrinologist (after being "lost in the system"!)

Management of Primary Hypothyroidism Statement by the British Thyroid Association Executive Committee
The cause is either chronic autoimmune disease (atrophic autoimmune
thyroiditis
or goitrous autoimmune
thyroiditis
(Hashimoto's
thyroiditis
)) or destructive treatment for hyperthyroidism with either radioiodine or surgery which may account for up to one-third of cases of hypothyroidism in the community

The good news is....
Is autoimmune
thyroiditis
(Hashimoto's) only autoimmune
thyroiditis
in the presence of a goitre or nodules along with elevated anti-TPO's? How does one get this officially diagnosed without a goitre?

Went to my GP last week because I was experiencing all the symptoms of Hashimitos
thyroiditis
. I had have hyperthyroidism in the past about four years ago. I had blood tests -first lot to do with auto immune system stuff I think- locum GP explained nothing and got grumpy when I asked.

Hypothyroidism
I have read quite a lot about Subacute
thyroiditis
and subsequent hypothyroidism and feel sure I am suffering from some form of Hypothyroidism. I have not been to my local Doctor yet but have been to my local clinic to have a Thyroid test done prior to attending my Doctor.

Does Hashimotos Thyroiditis cause osteoporosis?
I need medical evidence to post to my doctor to prove that hypothyroidism can cause osteoporosis. Can anyone out there send me links to medical studies that I can post to my endo? She thinks that only HYPERthyroidism can cause osteoporosis!

A good endocrinologist in the North West, ideally Chester/ Cheshire
Hi, I'm new to this forum, posting earlier about
Thyroiditis
and Depression. I am keen to find myself an endocrinologist in the Chester/ Cheshire area who is an expert in thyroid conditions and is open minded about early stage under active thyroid. I am simply looking for a personal recommendation.

Advice please
I also have ME/CFS, Hashimoto's
thyroiditis
(started treatment Feb - Nature Throid) and just started HRT. I have had B12 injections for 6 years, every 6 weeks but find they do not last. I take gabapentin for pins and needles, tingling in hands and wrists.

TSH super low
If I did have silent
thyroiditis
, how long would it take for my TSH to go back to normal? Is there anything that would cause my t3, and t4 to return to normal, but not my TSH? Any information would be great.

Blood results
I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, autoimmune
thyroiditis
and adrenal insufficiency, we're pretty sure it runs in the family as all the women are having the same problems. Thanks in advance :)
